Re: Grass spider , Bee
Pisaura mirabilis spider and an Andrena sp bee. Fair bit of detail with the bee so it might be possible to get to an actual species.

Nice clear shots. I am still trying bugs. All failed. I will get there…one day…but how did you make that bee stay on the whateveritisfeedingon?

Re: Grass spider , Bee
I have had a look at identification of the bee and it is tricky but possibly Andrena nitida? Grey hair patches on the sides of the abdomen.
Andrena bees are something of a specialist subject and, so far, I don't have much experience with them.
